Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 59 Average rating: 4.5 "Amazing! Dave & Co. define the meaning of Heavy Metal..." If you're not a Megadeth fan this DVD will turn you into one. If you are, then why are you reading this? You probably already have this DVD, and if you don't then move your behind and get one, because you don't know what you're missing. The new WNAH line-up of Mustaine, Ellefson, Pitrelli & DeGrasso prove that they are indeed the best line-up Megadeth has ever had. I haven't seen (or better yet, heard) a band playing this tight since KISS in '92 (with Kulick and Singer). Awesome stuff! It's too bad Dave called it quits, but hopefully when he gets better he'll do a reunion tour. One of the reasons why I didn't give it 5 stars was because the video quality could have been better. It's a little grainy, but the audio makes up for it. 10 seconds into Dread and the Fugitive Mind and you'll be pumping your fist in the air like you were there... The other reason for 4 instead of 5 stars was because (like others have said before) five of the songs are in the "Underground Concert" part of the Special Features...they put them there like they were encores or something, when in reality they weren't. A Tout Le Monde should have been part of the 'real' concert, and not in the 'Underground' one. All this makes the tracklist in the back of the DVD pretty useless. Other than those tiny mistakes, this DVD is certainly one that every metalhead should have in his/her collection. Long Live Megadeth! "Rude Awakening" Timing, Timing, Timing. Daves decision to hold out on his injury to till just before this items release maybe marketing bliss but gets my back up. This DVD represents the finest example of probably one of the tightest, hardest and most professional guitar orientated rock bands EVER! If you like hard rock then Megadeth define this. Megadeth have especially in the last ten years become more than amazing in their live performances and now we are lucky to have one captured in high quality video and DD 5.1. MD breakup is truly a great loss to ALOT of people. If you like guitars or drums or base or inovative original lyrics or state of the art speed metal buy this! My best wishes Dave. "a simple mistake" You can find train of consequences, tout le monde, and three others in the extras menu under "Underground concert." "Love the DVD, there are NO missing tracks" Love the DVD, great live footage and the quality is great. Just raw enough but the arrangements are great. I really don't understand those that are insisting there are missing tracks....there are NO missing tracks. Jeeze, just look in the special features section from the Main Menu, then select "Underground Live". All of the supposed "missing" tracks are there. They aren't very hidden so I don't know what all the fuss is. I almost didn't buy the DVD because of this but now I'm glad I did. "MEGADETH Finally you made it!!" Iam from Mexico and first of all I want to express my complete satisfaction to this DVD, I think that eventhough they could have added multi-angle cameras in order to follow the performance of anybody of the grop in a song, this DVD must be bought by anyone who wants to know what is heavy metal. Great Performance by dave mustaine, great solos, great selection of songs. This is megadeth time, so let`s say to the world that finally mustaine has got revenge!!, megadeth defeated metallica. Megadeth rules, and This rude awakening was necesary for all of us because we waited so much to have a megadeth live album. The songs that really surprised of this DVD were Ashes in your mouth, Mechanix, Tornado of souls and Devils island, but in general all songs were great coming from MEGADETH. Although you may not be a megadeth fan, I Assure you will find this DVD as one of the best live performances you have ever seen.
